Any analytical output may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, biased, revised, invalidated by new information, or affected by market, technical, operational, legal, regulatory, or methodological limitations.

No model, algorithm, dataset, analytical framework, forecast, trend analysis, or market intelligence tool can eliminate uncertainty or guarantee any result.
